Anyone who is a quilter or stitcher has an affiliation with colour – and with that comes an appreciation or heightened sense of colour all around them.

Without doubt, the reaction to our Kona Room at the new shopfront has been ‘wow’ – all those colours in one place… its like my coloured pencil collection and our fabric stash – all that colour stimulation right in front of us – oooooh, ahhhh …. ideas flow, the brain goes into overdrive and our artistic brain starts to race…
